I've been feeling rather down lately. I'm hoping it's just hormonal - I'm normally depressed just before my period, usually just one day. It's been a few days now. I feel as if I have to drag myself to do anything. I'm on days off and all I want to do is hide under my duvet cover and cry. It always scares me when I feel like this because I don't know when or if it will end. I'm trying my best not to dwell on how miserable I feel. What worries me most at the moment is that I know I'm withdrawing. Once I stop doing my normal things, I know that I'm not that okay. I might need to get out the St John's Wort. I've used it before when things have been a little tough. I don't think I need to look at anything stronger, and I certainly wouldn't at this earlier stage. I still have my fingers crossed that it'll all be over soon. It just makes it harder to cope with all the little things - I'm just overly sensitive at the moment, and take things to heart more than I normally would. But, I'm okay. Really.
